Hi! I Am From The Teenage Overlander Channel, I’m 13! Thanks for all of your fun videos! They have given me the encouragement to keep going with our channel 😁
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video for the people who are not able to do it ❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Beautiful, and I hear birds chirping happily in the background too 😊
Absolutely beautiful! I think Pop-Tarts should be a sponsor and they should have a picture of you on the box. First of all, you enjoy them. Second, the multi-colored sprinkles match your hair. I'm impressed.
I wouldn't turn down a pop tart sponsor. LOLOL
Nice video series of the Colorado Flats. Been tent overlanding for years now out of our JL Wrangler and never seen a rooftop tent i cared for being 6'2". After seeing your Intrepid Geo 2.5 review I took the plung and ordered it. Got it yesterday and installed it on my Rhino Rack. I like it so far except for the wind whistling noise on the highway. Great tent so far. Thanks for your 10% off discount code.
Planning our next trip now to this location on the Colorado Flats. Might take my diesel heater this time.
Thanks, I've been watching your videos for years now. We are retired, so every day of the week is the day you want it to be!
Hope our path come to find you on the same trail someday. Thanks again for sharing all your adventures.
Awesome! I hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as I have. If you have the cross bars on the rhino rack, every friend I have that has those with a RTT says it whistles. Try switching to the platform instead of the cross bars. My wife has that on her Wrangler and she's never had an issue with noise.
Hey! The "barn smell" is all part of it! We live an hour west of the Flat Tops and our property is considered "free range" for cows from May to July when the cows are moved up to higher ground to feed. If there's a cow patty on our road at home, I'll even drive through it- the dogs love it! And getting it on the Jeep while 4 wheeling? No big deal. As far as not seeing deer or elk, they are up high this time of year, especially since it's been a little warmer than usual. Check with Budges Resort that you came across, they'll fill you in. Thanks again for your videos and giving such an in-depth view of the Flat Tops.
When I went to Colorado in June I was in some parts where cattle were everywhere. My offset on my wheels makes them stick out a bit more and ran over a cow patty which slung it inside the jeep. That was fun cleaning that out😂
Yep definitely adding the flat tops to my list. I should've hung out with you that week but so glad I went to Utah because it was an epic trip.
Hi Matt, as am I, truly honored to know your channel as well as some of the others out there. Thank you and Cara for all you do! 🚙🚗😊
Thanks Ahmed!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures ♥️💯
Met you at overland west expo, been a fan for years now but it was awesome to finally meet you in person! I just bought a 2024 gladiator and am currently doing an overland buildout. Would be awesome to do a trip with you
First and foremost, love your channel! Thank you for finally acknowledging us subs that live our lives vicariously through your channel. And it's not just that easy to get out and enjoy the wilderness, off roading, as much as we would...finances, job, family, life. Most of the time you come across a little "preachy"on just do..make it happen. Again, love your channel, huge fan!
Thank you so much!
I've always enjoyed drifting the high plains...
Another great vid! Keep them coming!
From an early age my father taught me to read maps and he had a Map Box full of forest service maps. He’d always look for new roads or routes to explore on our wheeling / camping trips. Here I am 49 years later still doing the same thing, only now with my kids on both paper and electronic.
All hail Contour lines, declination diagrams and legends!😁
I agree. Sound of a stream then the sound of a baby laughing then third best sound is Godzillas roar 😂 great video Matt thanks for sharing
Across the Great Divide. The honor is ours. Thank you.
I’ve been following you since you began your channel. Your videos are on my Saturday morning watch list. I never knew that the Flat Tops existed until now, thanks. They have been added to my list. Keep it up.👍🏻
Great series! The Flattops are my back yard. I’ve explored everywhere you were the first two days. So beautiful.
As always I enjoy your videos and your channel. they get me motivated and get out on my own. I'm currently in Spearfish SD doing the BDRX and so far it's amazing.
I truly appreciate your adventures here in my home state. Can't wait for the next one
Love that area now. Thanks for sharing it with us!!
Glad you enjoyed it
great adventure series. will have to add flat tops to list of get to's
You should!
Love the channel, I use to love going camping in scouts. Hopefully in the future I can get back out there and see some of these places.
Watching this on my TV now, yeah man I'm trying like heck to get out there and see all of these places, unfortunately this year we didn't make it, had a few issues get in the way and a hurricane so we gotta wait for next year but we are going keep watching and planning for future trips!
Love me some flat tops. Going back next week.
Well I'm sold
Also, it’s absolutely Gorgeous out there! Flat tops are added to the list, fer sure.
Matt, when I was a younger man I drove s CJ5 (I now have a Gladiator), stationed at Ft. Carson explored the Rockies every weekend that could., I love the Rockies and look forward to exploring of them again on my next trip west.
Sounds awesome!!
14:48 Keep living the dream 👍
Spent many a day by foot or horseback and 4x4 up in the Little Flat Tops Wilderness area. It is a beautiful area to explore and enjoy. A lot of trails have been closed unfortunately to dead and downed timber. Still enjoying your content and the places you take us 👍
Oil filter housing/cooler are well known on the 3.6 L for leaking oil. Had to replace mine when it got around 90-100k miles
It’s not leaking anywhere.
Hey Matt, it can get very busy up there on weekends; especially holiday weekends. It was a zoo over 4th of July weekend with tons of RVs and SXSs.
I can see that for sure!
I'm one of those that most likely won't be able to get out there for anything more than overnight or day trips. Only having a weeks vacation kind of limits how far you can go.
Safe travels.
That box canyon ❤🥹
1:31 and eagles. I mean that's pretty freaking cool.
The road after little box is Coulter mesa.
Finally time for the hemi swap!!!!
Real question is, how do you keep your hair so nice when you are out on these adventures? Great video Matt!
LOL. I honestly don't do much to it. It just stays that way.
Look up Crescent and Mackinaw lakes. They're in the flattops wilderness area. There's a great road that goes up in there from off of the same road that coffee pot road comes off of...just farther up the road. I think it would make a good video.
i'll have to check it out next time!
HI MATT 👋
I DEFINITELY BE MISSING MY LITTLE PAWED FAMILY ❤
GORGEOUS SCENERY COLORS LANDSCAPES VIEWS, DRONE FOOTAGE VIDEO 📹 AWESOME CAMPSITES ! LOVE ALL THE TERRAIN CHANGES , ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW TO LOOK AT ❤THAT WOULD GET A LITTLE TO A LOT STINKY , COW PATTIES , L.O.L. , NOT FUNNY 😒 😤 PROBABLY NEED ONE OF THOSE PORTABLE POWER SPRAYERS & A NICE ROCKY CLEAR STREAM TO WASH THOSE TROUBLES AWAY 😂
HOPEFULLY YOU / THEY WHO EVER YOU TAKE THE JEEP TO CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE OIL ? OR MAYBE SOMEONE WATCHING HAS GONE THROUGH THE SAME ISSUE ?
THE LITTLE ONES EYES 👀 ARE GOING TO LIGHT UP WHEN THE SEE OR HEAR YOUR JEEP PULL UP WHERE THEY'RE STAYING !❤
BE SAFE ☺️ 🙏HAVE FUN ☺️ 🙏ENJOYED ☺️ 🙏 GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES ☺️ 🙏WONDERING WHY NO WILDLIFE THERE WHERE YOU'RE / WERE PLENTY TO EAT , DRINK , HIDE , PLACES TO BED DOWN , HIDE . NOT BE CROWDED BY HUMANS ? ☺️ 🙏LOVE THIS TYPE OF EXPLORING TOO ☺️ 🙏 THANK YOU ❤☺️ 🙏
It has been very sad traveling without the pups and unfortunately our next trip around the Rebelle Rally we can't take them there either. But don't worry they will be back.
Hi, I was wondering how you get your awesome Music For Your RUclips Videos, Thanks For the Awesome Content!
It’s through Epidemic Sound.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Thank You so much have a great day!
Beautiful video. Wanting a Rubicon Gladiator for an everyday driver, but will also be my everyday driver. So my question is what sort of mpg average do you see? I know you definitely don’t buy a
jeep for increased
mpg lol.
11-13 typically. It all depends on how heavy it is.
City boys worry bout cow patties. Country boys pay no mind
If country boys want their trucks to smell like shit and get it all over their door handles then that’s their choice. 🤷🏼♂️😂🤦🏼♂️
Perhaps. But the "country boys" I know make sure they smell really good before going out on a date. Unless, of course, their date is a cow.
How much did cost wash that mud off lol where a good water crossing lol nice video
I just swiped my card and hoped for the best. LOL
Thanks for the videos. I watch all of them. Very relaxing. What are your thoughts regarding RTT vs canopy camper (i.e. Alucab) vs off road trailer with wet bath (i.e. OBI Dweller 13) when it comes to overlanding with wife in terms of comfort vs convenience ? Don’t expect an answer, I know you are busy, but you have a world of experience and a wife who travels with you.
Every setup has its pros and cons. It’s just depends on your style or travel and comfort needs. We stopped pulling a trailer because it doesn’t match the trails we like to do. I’d say the canopy camper allows the best balance between capability and comfort. Cara loves her Explore Elevated topper.
Hey Matt, what is the height of your truck including with the roof top tent? Does it fit through a 7 foot garage door? Any plans on visiting canada? Maybe with TSTN in BC? I'd like to see you do some ontario stuff if there is anything around, or northern michigan. Take care!
could be sucking a little oil by worn valve guides / seals. sometimes will get blue smoke on deacceleration
I’ve never seen smoke from any of my video footage. I’ve been looking for it. 🤷🏼♂️
Do you ever worry about the rotopax getting rubbed or punctured with them being mounted on the side?
I've busted my water rotopax on a tree before but not a fuel one.
How much time do you spend styling your hair?
Honestly almost none. It’s a very camp friendly hair style. 😂
Do you find the Jeep platform uncomfortable on the highway?
I don’t personally but I’m very used to it and love the Jeep interior.
Check to see if your crappy plastic oil cooler isn’t leaking. This is a major problem with the crappy Pentastar.
I've checked that. It's good.
Hello Matt, do u happen to be in Colorado? Fall is in full swing.
I wish. Been home for a few weeks now.
How would that area be towing an off road trailer?
Excellent.
Have you figured out where you're oil is going? Head gasket leak?
No clue yet. For now I'm just keeping an eye on it.
Matt: Do any of your Jeep friends overland with a 392 Rubicon or is that just overkill and gas guzzling ?
Will with Venture 2 Roam does. He loves it.
Oil cooler possibly.?
Honestly no clue yet.
its a jeep it going to eat up oil
In the words of Bobby Hill "This is nice country, think I'll retire out here, tell em all to go to hell."
A rancher likes the smell of cows. Smells like money & steaks.
I’m not a rancher. 😂
I hate cow crap!
Lots of Private Property. Beware.
Will do.
